Do you ever think happens after your body has gone?

What you would like your family to do and how you would like them to represent you at your funeral?

​

There was a time there wasn't much choice for your funeral. You would find a funeral home on Google or the yellow pages and they might sell you the highest price funeral you could afford, or perhaps they would make you feel guilty that you had not chosen the most expensive coffin for your loved one.

Since 2015, a new, inivitive funeral group have been changing the way people can farewell themselves, their friends or their precious family members. 

​

Picaluna was the first company to bring in Your funeral, Your way methodology. 

​

There is one thing in life we can be sure of. We will die one day. So why not prepare now. 

Why not think about how you wish to see your last farewell. 

Will it be black suits or bright dresses

Will it be your choice of music or a solomn processional

Will it be in a big church, a little chapel, a crematorium room OR

Will your deaths view be lucious Bushland, Ocean and Beach or a Beautiful Garden?

Will your family wear high heels or flip-flops.

Will they toast you with your favourite spirit as your spirit is set free?

Are you from a culture that respects another style of ceremony? Let us know how to incorporate your wishes in your ceremony.

​

The question remains. 

Who are you and what do you want with your remains. 

​

We at Freshwater Funerals and Picaluna can answer all of these questions for you. 

A caring house call to talk about your desires - before your death or to talk to your family
